Wall of Wonders

THE PARTY With the Dallas Contemporary’s 35th anniversary looming on the horizon, expect to see a lot of little parties leading up to the big, blowout bash. With that in mind, they’ve decided to honor their biggest donors and closest friends with a wall of thanks. The Capital Donor Wall—an impressive aluminum wall listing all the feted names—is now displayed prominently at the front entrance. THE SCENE Along with the reveal, the latest exhibition opened up to the public. On display were Faile’s hallmark prayer wheels; Georg Herold’s witty, mixed material figures; Kevin Todora’s manipulated photographs; and Lucia Simek and Kristen Cochran’s conceptual sculpture. THE HIGHLIGHTSToasting the new honorees were Anais Assoun, Joan Davidow, Peter Doroshenko, Suzanne and David Droese, Ben Fischer, Laree Hulshoff, Muffin Lemak, Jo Marie Lilly, Capera Ryan, Ashley Tatum, Shelby Wagner, Newt Walker and many more friends of the Contemporary. Can’t wait to see what they have in store for the big birthday! Photography by Jenifer Baker
